@abrignoni A screenshot of a social media post from user my_monochrome_life on Tech Threads. The text reads, "Researchers at the University of California San Diego are giving retired smartphones a second life by turning them into miniature data centers. Working with Google, the team removes unnecessary components, installs Linux and links old Pixel phones into computing clusters. A network of 25-50 phones can rival the processing power of a server-class CPU. The goal is a 2,000-phone cluster providing low-cost, low-carbon computing resources for students and researchers." The post includes a photograph of a black, rectangular hardware base with several rows of smartphone internal circuit boards mounted vertically. Black power cables are plugged into the side of the device, which also features a small white Google "G" logo.
